Longer Lengths of Time in "Show reminders for..." Dropdown Options

Can we please get periods of time longer than just 12 months in the "Show reminders for" dropdown menu on an account?
In the grand scheme of things, especially for recurring reminders like income and ongoing expenses, a year just isn't that long of a time frame.
It would be particularly useful for those of us that would like to add scheduled transactions and project income, expenses, and (most importantly) payoff schedules and balances 2,3, or even 4 years off.
Seems like this would be an insanely simple addition, and a quick feature add. Even something as simple as adding 24 months and 36 months (or more!) as options would suffice.

@kelleycm There are a few existing Idea threads regarding longer time periods for scheduled transactions. I'm not sure if you want to just see the list of transactions in your register or on the projection graph or something else. Take a look to see if one or more of these existing Ideas encompasses what you're seeing:
Improve the Bill Reminders (Cash Flow Forecast/Projected Balance) in Quicken Mac (113 votes)
Custom Bills & Income Projected Balance time period/date selection (32 votes)
Scheduled Transaction Reminders: More than 12 Months (0 votes)

How reliable do you think this balance projection into the long-term future is going to be? Especially since irregular or unexpected income or expenses for which no scheduled reminders exist will not be part of the forecast. A few years out, the resulting cone of probability will vary so much, you'll either be a bazillionaire or flat broke.

Pretty accurate from my experience, and most definitely so within the two to three year time frame.
And the entire point really is, when those irregular or unexpected income or expenses come up, I want to see how they effect the loans I'm trying to pay down faster over the next 2-3 years as well.
Just because it isn't a use case for your preferred method of income projection doesn't mean it isn't a use case at all.0 -
The first two, no. They seem to deal with the bills and income projected balance. I merely and simply want to be able to view longer than a year out on scheduled transactions in an account's register.jacobs said:@kelleycm There are a few existing Idea threads regarding longer time periods for scheduled transactions.

The last one may be what I'm talking about, but I get a permission error when clicking on that link and can't actually see the text.0 -

To rub salt into the wound, Quicken for Windows "Projected Balances" view has the same interval periods (Next 7, 14, 30, 90 days, 12 months), but it also has a "Custom" selection which allows you to specify a Date Range "From Today to [end date]" with a fixed end date more than 1 year into the future.
Is that missing from the Mac version?

@UKR Correct, that is not in Quicken Mac. Only the fixed list of choices:UKR said:
